A Happy ending for POPPY

Hardly recognisable as being a living animal, this puppy was found collapsed
in the middle of the road on the outskirts of Colombo in Sri Lanka. (
October 2008 )

By chance Kim Cooling and her team from Animal SOS Sri Lanka where
travelling along the same road, experience told them to stop and check out
the small object that they saw in the road ahead.

Many puppies and dogs are seen wandering along the roads in Sri Lanka, for
many the struggle to survive becomes too much and they just lay down to die.


1,000's of puppies and dogs in Sri Lanka continue to collapse in the road in
this manner, resigned to die. Some believe that they lie in the road in
desperation to find help or to end their life hoping to be struck by the
passing vehicles that rarely stop.

The girl puppy was named 'Poppy' by Kim's team and was immediately rushed to
the Kandy Veterinary College for blood testing and treatment. Poppy was
emaciated, distressed and suffering from multiple skin ailments including
mange. After being treated, Animal SOS Sri Lanka quickly homed her to a
known loving and caring environment.

I am pleased to report that we have been told that Poppy is recovering well
and has even started to grow some ginger coloured fur again. ( end October
2008 )

For Poppy, due to the work of Animal SOS Sri Lanka, there has been a happy
ending. For thousands of others the battle to survive continues, puppies and
dogs just like her will still be seen collapsed in the middle of the roads
in Sri Lanka.

If you would like to help others like Poppy find treatment and a loving
home, please consider a donation to help us in our work, together we really
can make a difference to their lives and give them hope for the future.
